List of ethnic groups in Laos

The following is a list of ethnic groups within Laos.

Classification

Specialists are largely in agreement as to the ethnolinguistic classification of the ethnic groups of Laos. [http://www.asianlii.org/asia/other/ADBLPRes/2006/4.pdf Indigenous Peoples Development Planning Document] ] For the purposes of the 1995 census, GOL recognized 149 ethnic groups within 47 main ethnicities. [http://www.asianlii.org/asia/other/ADBLPRes/2006/4.pdf Indigenous Peoples Development Planning Document] ] whereas the Lao Front for National construction (LFNC) recently revised the list to include 49 ethnicities consisting of over 160 ethnic groups. [http://www.asianlii.org/asia/other/ADBLPRes/2006/4.pdf Indigenous Peoples Development Planning Document] ] The term "ethnic minorities" is used by some to classify the non-Lao ethnic groups, while the term "indigenous peoples" is not used by the Lao PDR. [http://www.asianlii.org/asia/other/ADBLPRes/2006/4.pdf Indigenous Peoples Development Planning Document] ] These 160 ethnic groups speak a total of 82 distinct living languages.
